Salmon Burgers with Cabbage-Apple Slaw

Salmon Burgers with Cabbage-Apple Slaw

Move over beef and turkey — salmon burgers (these are infused with curry powder!) are your new summer grill go-to.

Mushroom-Quinoa Burger

Chipotle Nacho Burger

Throw a fiesta in less than half an hour with this tasty recipe. Add some Latin flavor with ground chipotle chile pepper – make it as mild or hot as you like. And don't forget to serve the burgers with cool avocado on the side.

Black Bean Burgers

Swap meat for beans with this healthy burger alternative. Lettuce on the bottom, chipotle mayo on top, and a duo of dynamic spices in between make this recipe a cookout-must. Plus, you can prep the patty in advance and freeze uncooked burgers for an easy weeknight meal.

Inside-Out Burgers with Avocado and Sprouts

Stuffed with melted cheddar and topped with lime-spritzed avocado and cilantro-spiked sprouts, this decadent burger packs zest into every bite. (And lean ground beef keeps it under 500 calories per serving.)

Pastrami Burgers

Don't be fooled: This recipe amounts to so much more than the traditional deli sandwich. You'll get a kick out of the spiced patty and mustard on rye toast. Oh, and be sure to add a spoonful of our tri-colored slaw on the side.
